I could see them packaging a green animated Bee homage as Waspinator simply because they already have the name and Wasp sounds like it wouldn’t be worth the effort to trademark
Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

Should have a Wasp hijacked box set of four: Buzzworthy BumWaspee with Cybertronian Wasp from Origins Bumblebee, Earth mode Wasp from Earthrise Cliffjumper, second Earthern Wasp from Needlenose (a jet mode to homage Starscream possession) and finally Waspinator.
Yeah, that's what the original unreleased toy of Animated Wasp was gonna be like, with the name "Fugitive Waspinator".
No new headsculpt, sadly, due to Ironhide taking up the budget for a new head in the originally planned wave the two would have been a part of, before Wasp got cancelled and Ironhide became a Toys R Us exclusive.
I would absolutely buy Needlenose in Wasp/Waspinator colors. Actually, any of these, really, but that would be great!
I wonder what Spinister would look like in Waspinator colors?
Does that helicopter have a second cockpit hidden under the first? That's an interesting choice.
The original version of the mold had a short, stubby cockpit and came with a minicon that was supposed to form a longer, more conventional cockpit. They remolded the cockpit on this version of the mold to look like an actual cockpit but kept the minicon unchanged. The new cockpit sticks out a lot more than the original version, which was just a flap.
I like how you are thinking here.
Ah, gotcha. I wasn't following Transformers very close in those days.
Almost. The matching Mini-Con redeco ("Trigger") was available separately as part of a "Micron Booster" batch along with the redecoed Mini-Cons/Microns Wrench, Clamp and Gauge to match the Armada Blurr, Hoist and Side Swipe retools Blurr, Longrack and Runabout (named "Runamuck" for the Hasbro release).
The inset in the TFWiki photo is intended to showcase the Mini-Con compatibility.
Well, it happened, this thread said his name three times when joking about a Seeker and we accidentally summoned him:

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Instead of "Buzzworthy Bumblebee," it's "What's Happening Waspinator".
I think I forgot to ever ask: Is he related to Neil Ross (Springer, Slag, Bonecrusher, Hook, others)?
It gives me hope that others may have a second chance. Made this for when Sevengoolie showed one of the 'giant ape that's not Kong' movies.
Edit: I found the title, it was "Konga", go figure...
